## What it is
A simple terminal UI for managing Docker containers, images, volumes, and docker-compose services, written in Go with the gocui library. It provides a lazy, keyboard-driven interface for viewing logs, stats, and controlling containers without typing long docker commands.

## Use cases
- manage docker containers from the terminal
- view container logs and stats in a tui
- manage docker-compose services interactively
- restart or stop containers without typing docker commands
- monitor container resource usage
- prune unused docker images and volumes

## When to choose
- you want a fast terminal UI instead of memorizing docker CLI commands
- you manage docker and docker-compose workloads daily
- you prefer keyboard-driven tools like lazygit

## When to avoid
- you need a full graphical dashboard like Portainer
- you need orchestration across a cluster (use Kubernetes tooling)
- you need remote multi-host docker management

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, developer-tools, container-runtime, terminal-ui
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli, go
- tags: docker, docker-compose, tui, container-management, command-line, containers, devops, linux, macos
